The case you linked to is real nice. I have worked with a few in person. Ventilation is ok, and I wish it wasn't made out of plastic, but It is sturdy and looks cool.
There is an LED display on the front, near the bottom, it requires no additional connectors to the computer.
Personally, I would stay away from the striker you linked to and get the EVGA board Thelis recommended. From personal experience I can tell you the striker is very picky about the ram that goes in it. If it is not on the approved list, it will cause problems. The evga board is stable, and reliable. It has been able to take everything I've thrown at it (which isn't as much as some of the other members).
Kinda off topic, but can I ask you to watch the double posting. If you could use the multi-quote feature or the edit button next time that would be much appreciated.
